TWENTY-FOURTH 



TlTT~T^ nerem present the record of the past twelve months, end- 
\£\d/> i n g April, 1878, as our twenty-fourth annual report. 

A year ago we passed through a season of intense anxiety. In one 
of the stateliest halls of England there is the record upon a certain 
work of art and beauty that it was "finished in the year of sorrow," 
thus characterizing the period in which a beloved member of the 
household had died. 

If in like manner we should perpetuate our associations with the 
years of our work and call the last our year of sorrow, we might with 
equal justice characterize this as the year of prayer. The experience 
of those who have worked longest in the Board will give corroborat- 
ing testimony to the fitness of the appellation. We all recall the 
pale face and feeble form of one who for almost a lifetime had borne 
this work daily to the Lord in prayer as the cause nearest to her 
heart as she rose in her place in the November meeting to tell us 
in sweet and simple words how that this year more than ever she had 
besought the blessing of the Lord upon the schools, and urged upon 
us, her colaborers, to unite with her in being more importunate in 
seeking God's help. 

These were her last words to us. Before the next meeting of the 
Board the Lord called her to himself, " Where many a prayer of 
hers had gone before." Her words falling upon us like a parting 
benediction could not pass unheeded, and as we record the work of 
the year, shall we not gratefully attribute the measure of our success 
to the efficacy of prayer. 



i3 
Home for Destitute Children, 

Stirling Place, between Flatbush and Vanderbilt Avenues. 

Two hundred and twenty children have found shelter under this 
roof during the year. Board has been paid for one hundred and 
twenty of these, with more or less regularity; twenty-seven are paid 
for by the county, and the rest have been entirely supported upon 
the charity of the Association. 

We do not turn worthy applicants away so long as we have food to 
give them and room to accommodate them. The food is very sim- 
ple, but it is well cooked and wholesome, and the matron is instructed 
to see that every child is satisfied before it leaves the dining-room. 
The matron, the teacher and the seamstress are alternately present at 
each meal to enforce order, and the visitors on the House Committee 
are requested so to time their visits that they may observe how the 
children behave at the table, and if their food is properly prepared. 

The bright and healthy appearance of the children indicates that 
they are well cared for and happy. No contagious disease has visited 
the Home during the past year, and only two deaths have occurred 
these being of infants in the nursery. 

A boy received a wound from being thrown down by one of his 
playmates, Avhich the physicians feared might prove fatal, but Ernst 
is now recovering ; as he sat in his rocking-chair before the open fire 
in the cheerful new hospital room, with a nurse beside him, and the 
sunlight straying from the pictures upon the walls to the white cover- 
lids upon the beds, it did not seem as if the term " destitute children " 
applied to such as he ; there may be significance in the fact that it 
appears upon the outside of our bui'.ding. 

We find with regret that. this edifice, large as it looms up when 
viewed from the exterior, is not well adapted as regards its interior 
arrangement, to the purposes for which it was designed. Our work 
is circumscribed both by the want of more room and the inconveni- 
ent arrangement of that which we have. One story is lost under the 
steep roof, for the managers with motherly thoughtfulness for the 
safety of the children are unwilling to trust them to use the narrow 
stairway which leads up to that barren waste of unoccupied attic 
room. We scarcely dare to think that we shall soon be rich enough 
to enlarge and improve our building, and thus gain the conveniences 
which are so sorely needed, but we are working to that end, and so 
we shall in the present as in the past, 

" Still achieving, still pursuing, 
Learn to labor and to wait." 



14 

THE NURSERY. 

There are at present twenty-five children, of five years of age, and 
younger, in the nursery. 

Two infants have been surrendered to the Association ; they are 
pretty little creatures. We are hoping that some kind loving heart 
may turn in pity to their motherless condition and offer them homes 
in nurseries left vacant by the death of some darling of the house- 
hold. The children are well at present, most of them have been well 
all winter. 

We wish that friends would oftener visit the nursery. Those who 
at first consent to come from a sense of duty would soon become in- 
terested' in the little group flocking about you, when you open the 
door, and welcoming you in the fearless confidence of babyhood ac- 
customed to be kindly met. They can sing you the little hymn " 1 
am so glad that Jesus loves me," unconscious of the blessing they 
have in that great love of Jesus, or they can sing you the little song 
about the sparrow, in each case carrying the tune as corre.tly as if in 
leadership they had a juvenile Jenny Lind. When the weather is 
pleasant they are muffled in hoods and coats, and toddle along the 
sunny side of the street, a funny little group of twenty babies. If 
you meet them they will cluster about your feet, and look up at you 
like the little flower faces in a bed of pansies. They may stumble, 
and come back to the nursery with a scratched nose, but they have 
compensating roses on their cheeks, with, perhaps, a lesson in bravery 
learned in that the baby was called "a little man," because he did not 
cry when he fell. 

INDUSTRIAL SCHOOLS. 

There are five industrial schools supported by this Association. 
The children attending are provided each day with their dinner, and 
in the autumn a complete suit of clothing is given to every child, so 
that the need of a suitable dress need not be urged as an excuse for 
staying away from school. 

The punctuality of attendance has been an improvement upon 
that of former years ; there must be, however, some irregularity in 
this respect in scholars from this class. Like the barometer, they in- 
dicate the changes in the weather ; they are attracted by the sun- 
shine to wander about the streets ; they are driven into the school- 
room by the storms. Thus they come and go as poverty and want 
supply the motive, or occasional work given to their parents lessens 
the necessity of depending upon the managers for food. 



i5 

School No. i. 
Concord Street, opposite junction of Prince Street. 

This building and the lots upon which it is situated are the prop- 
erly of the Association. It contains a large airy school-room,' with 
commodious apartments for the matron, and a comfortable dining- 
room. Th:.- neighborhood is a very desirable one, which term when 
applied to an industrial school means the reverse of that phrase in its 
ordinary application. There are crowds of ragged little urchins roam- 
ing about the streets and houses suggestive of accommodations for a 
family in every room. 

The Visitor and Bible reader for this school says in her report : 
11 The condition of the families is much the same ; all have a great 
struggle to obtain food, and some get very little. I visited the homes 
of some new scholars, as I generally do when they first enter the 
schools, and found them in a wretched condition. The parents were 
intoxicated, and were quarreling ; they had also given their children 
liquor to drink ; the boy that came out to see me could scarcely 
stand," and, oh mothers and fathers, will you nor help us to work for 
these children, the Visitor sadly adds, " the boy was only ten 
years old." 

Of another child the teacher says : " I found he had tobacco in 
* his pockets. He denied at first that he smoked, or chewed, or drank. 
Finally he admitted that he used tobacco (he is about e ght years 
old , but denied drinking. I did not believe him. I did not tell him 
so, but 1 pictured to him the drunkard's career as vividly as I could. 
I try to be doubly kind to such children." 

In the course of the year there have been two hundred and fifteen 
children attending this school. There are at present ninety names 
on the roll-book. Five hundred and eighty garments have been 
given out ; four hundred and sixty of these were new and made up 
by the Sewing Committee ; one hundred and fifteen pairs of new 
shoes were presented to the children, and twenty pairs, not new, were 
given in the course of the winter. Meals were furnished to the num- 
ber of fourteen thousand three hundred and fifty-seven. 

School No. 2. 

Fourth Street, near Smith Street. 

The building for this School is hired at a yearly rent of three hun- 
dred dollars. This locality, like that of School No. 1, has its peculiar 
advantages for an Industrial School. The gin shops and lager beer 
saloons in the vicinity send forth their graduates, and schools for vice 



r6 

abound. Christianity must extend its hand and gather the children 
from these places, for, if they do not take lessons in virtue, they 
assuredly will in vice. 

The number of scholars who have attended this school during the 
year, as furnished from the roll-book of the teacher, is one hundred 
and fifty. There are at present one hundred, with an average attend- 
ance of eighty ; of these, sixty-live can read, the most of whom study 
arithmetic and geography, and are learning to write, these, in Indus- 
trial School gradation, being the "higher grades." 

In order to make these children presentable, and to inculcate that 
love for neatness which they so greatly lack, seven hundred garments 
have been given out, five hundred of which were new. One hundred 
and seventy-five pairs of shoes have been furnished, one hundred 
and twenty pairs of these being new. 

We offer a few extracts from the Reports of the teacher, to show 
the class of children who attend this school': "The father of the 

children has been unable to walk for eight years ; he lies on his 

back and makes cigars, and Johnny takes them to New York to sell. 
The food and clothing given them from the School is all they have." 

" Two little girls, whose mother is blind, came to the School. 
They are very poor. The mother says it is a great comfort to her to 
listen to her children singing the hymns and repeating verses from 
the Bible, which they have learned at school. All the clothing they 
have the ladies have given them." 

" A family of five children, whose father died of consumption, 
attend the School. The mother says she could not support them but 
for the help furnished by the Managers." 

Thus the teacher continues through a list of similar cases, each 
but a repetition of the same struggle with sickness and poverty, echo- 
ing back in their measure a confirmation of the words spoken in 
Judea, eighteen hundred years ago : " The poor ye have always with 
you." 

♦ 
School No. 3. 

/// the Chapel of the Home. 

The average number of children in attendance in the Home School 
has been eighty. Their improvement in the past year has not been 
all that we could desire. We have labored under the disadvantage 
caused by constant change of teachers ; but the School Committee 



has at length secured the services of a lady whose long experience, 
united with the Christian enthusiasm which she brings to the work, is 
almost a sure guarantee that the standard of education will be raised 
and the discipline of the School will be better than ever before. An 
assistant teacher has been provided for the younger children, who 
will in future train them with some interesting kindergarten exercises, 
not only to the better advancement of the little ones, but leaving the 
Principal free from distractions during the hours she devotes to her 
older pupils. 

A class of the more advanced scholars were sent to the public 
school adjoining the Home, but the change was attended with ques- 
tionable success. They were averse to going. There were always 
symptoms of a severe epidemic which raged with intermittent energy 
according to the opening or closing hours of school. Perhaps their 
schoolmates taunted them with gibes as to the eleemosynary insti- 
tution from which they came, for children are often, unconsciously, 
very cruel. The order for their going was revoked, and the children 
recalled to their own school-room, with the exception of one boy who, 
from peculiar circumstances in his case, needed the instruction which 
could be best obtained at the public school. One of the ladies on, this 
School Committee generously provided one dozen silver medals as 
rewards. "These," says the Matron, "have produced a gratifying 
improvement in the conduct of the boys and girls among whom there 
is a commendable strife to bear off the honors." 

School No. 4. 
Formerly 602, at present 607 Warren Street. 

The building in which this School was held was found to be so 
unsuitable and inconvenient that upon the expiration ot the lease it 
was thought desirable to select more commodious rooms. A house 
in the immediate vicinity has been obtained. The floors occupied 
by the School are rented for three hundred dollars, and it is hoped 
that in more comfortable quarters the increased growth of the School 
will justify the wisdom of the change. 

The Reports of the Visitor are nearly a repetition of those given 
for the other Schools ; they are the reiteration of the old story of a 
dreary monotony of poverty and discouragement on the part of the 
parents, and a depressing dependence upon the relief given them. 
"If it had not been for the aid received in the School," said a poor 
woman, "my children must almost have starved; they often go to 
school without breakfast." Other reports are to the same effect. 
The number of children in attendance through the year has been 



i8 

one hundred and seventy-nine. There are at present eighty-nine 
names on the roll-book. Three hundred and fifty-six garments have 
been distributed in the School, and eighty-eight pairs of shoes given. 
Twelve thousand, two hundred and fifty-six meals have been pro- 
vided for the scholars. 

The ladies on this Committee, wishing the parents to feel an inter- 
est in the improvement of their children, invited them to an enter- 
tainment in the school-room ; unfortunately the evening proved a 
stormy one ; but the experiment will be repeated, with the view to 
encourage the parents to send the children more regularly and punc- 
tually to school. 

School No. 5. 
Throop Ave., between Myrtle and Flushing Aves. 

One hundred and thirteen children have attended this School dur- 
ing the year. Seventy-seven names are at present on the roll-book. 
Four hundred and forty-one garments have been given out, two hun- 
dred and nine of which were new. Eighty pairs of new shoes have 
been given to the scholars, and forty-three pairs not new. 

Thirty nine dollars and thirty-three cents have been contributed 
towards the expenses of this School by the scholars themselves, 
through weekly contributions known as "envelope receipts." 

This is comparatively a new school, but a great deal has been done 
to make it a success, and the result has proved very satisfactory. The 
reports o f the Visitor and Bible reader are so full of interest that we 
transfer them to these pages as accurate pictures of the work of this 
School Committee : 

" A poor woman thus gave the simple expression of pleasure on 
the part of her little girl who had been received in the School : 
' Julie said, we put up our hands to pray, mamma, when school be- 
gins, and when we eat our dinner, and when we get through, and be- 
fore we go home ; and oh, it is so nice ! " 

" It is very encouraging," continues the Visitor, "to witness the in- 
creasing interest in the word of God, and the pleasure manifested in the 
hymns and texts the children learn. As I contrasted the condition 
of some of these families with that of a year ago. I felt that we had 
reason to thank God for what had been wrought through this instru- 
mentality." She then proceeds to give examples, from which we 



i9 

select one. " A woman, who had once been a teacher in a high school 
in London, we found in almost a starving condition, and in despair 
over the wants of her children. Her husband, although an educated 
man, had been brought to his present low condition by intemperance. 
The children were taken in the School and employment was found 
for the father. The mother, who is an humble Christian, has ex- 
pressed much gratitude in contrasting her present condition with that 
of a year ago, when she was compelled to pick up cinders in the 
street and present herself as a candidate for County relief.. Some 
of the pupils in this, as we have before stated of the other Schools, 
have already acquired habits which are deplorable, and which we can 
scarcely associate with childhood. "Two of our boys were intoxi- 
cated on New Years Day," says the Visitor, "the younger is only six 
years old ! " Another was reported to be in the same condition re- 
cently. If there can be any mitigating circumstances in such a case, 
or any explanation which may be an excuse for the child, we find 
such in the fact that he was "taught by his grandfather to smoke and 
chew before he was four years old, ;md has ever since been associ- 
ated with those who practice all kinds of vice." 

Are we discouraged by reports such as these ? On the contrary, 
they are incentives to work — they show the necessity for just such 
schools as ours ; they are cases in point to show the need of Chris- 
tian women going into these by-ways and seeking the imperiled little 
ones. It is just the work that women can do best, and only the 
love of Christ can induce even kind-hearted women to follow up per- 
severingly, children, who are only such as to age, who are old in the 
knowledge of sin — sometimes in the commission of it. Were these 
alone the sufferers we might look on in placid indifference ; but they 
are aggressive agents, they are not passive. They lead the young and 
innocent on to sin, and in time they war upon society, they support 
the drinking saloons, they break our laws and fill our prisons. Can 
any cause appeal more strongly to a mother's heart ? Each year, as 
it increases our labor, only adds to our enthusiasm, and as we look 
upon this broad field for the exercise of Christian benevolence, we 
say, as we truly feel, that this is one of the most important of our 
city charities. 

CHILDREN IN HOMES. 

We have received very encouraging letters from and in regard to 
children who have been placed in family homes. " We love the little 
one as if she were indeed our own," writes a lady about a little girl 
who does not know but that it is her own mother whom she calls such. 



We have all seen parents who were blind to their children's faults ; the 
writer of a letter from the West speaks thus of her adopted child:- " I 
think he has as few faults as any child I ever knew. He is very smart, 
and handsome. He goes to school and learns fast, and can spell and 
read better than common children of his age." The mother of the 
child thus referred to is dead, and his father is in prison. The boy, 
ignorant of this stain, may lead a better life ; guided by the kind 
mother who has taken him from such companionship, he will be the 
more likely to do so. A father writes of the boy adopted in his family 
very much in the same vein : " Tommy stands nearly perfect in 
all his studies. He only missed five words in his spelling class during 
three months. The teacher says he is the best scholar of his age in 
school." 

The following letter is so thoroughly characteristic of an ener- 
getic boy that we give it entire, verbatim et literatim. The writer was 
an inmate of the Home until he went West ; he replies once a year 
to the letters addressed to him, and always in the same vein. He 
has a prejudice against punctuation, and never makes a pause from 
first to last ; he is strongly biased in favor of the conjunctions, of 
which he makes an immoderate use. It is evident that he does not 
write under the eye of the school-master. 

" I have received your welcome letter today and the men is butch- 
ering the hogs is fat now and it begins to rain now and they will have 
a bad time at it now and it will be a good joke on the young folks out 
here now if it rains we were going to have a oyster supper tonight 
oysters is scarce out here we have to pay 40 cents a can out here and 
i have not seen Frank yet when our folks go to mill i will stop and se. 
him and I seen Christopher a week or two ago and he has a good 
home and I have a good home now and I am going to stay out here 
I got a letter from my brother and sister and I sent my sister a pres- 
ent and a birthday present and we have a good time and we have a 
little girl died last night she died with the head complaint and we 
had a woman died with the consumtion and we had bad luck with 
wemen out here and I have got a saddle and bridle and I paid $2. 
for it and I am goin to get me a Indian pony and I have got 3 pigs 
to raise and it will pay for the pony and he will take the road there 
are lots of them out here but they ask too much for their poneys 
and I kin get one out here for $30 and we tap some mapple trees out 
in the timber and we made some mapple suggar so I guess I must 
close my letter now so good bye." 



THE COUNTY WARDS. 



We felt acutely a year ago the aspersions from certain quarters cast 
upon our work. We look back to that period more calmly now, sat- 
isfied that while we toil on patiently, and according to the wisdom we 
have given us, we may leave the results to our Father in Heaven. 
Joseph Cook says that "the poorest really conscientious life is in- 
calculably better than the acutest worldly sneer concerning it." 
Assenting to this, we take the reasonable comfort that we may, from 
the consciousness that we have endeavored with scrupulous care to 
do C'lir best. 

At the time when the County Nursery was abolished this Home 
and the Eastern District Industrial Home were the two Asylums 
appointed for the reception of the children of the Protestant poor of 
Brooklyn. The County Commissioners of Charity now refuse to place 
children in this Home, even when earnestly requested by the parents to 
do so. As a result, when a Protestant woman applies to us to support 
her children, we are cut off from the County aid which is rightfully ours, 
and, if we take the children, must support them upon the funds of 
the Association. Thus, while our work is increased our pecuniary 
resources are not, and we must collect money to support children 
who ought to be County wards. 

There are six Roman Catholic Asylums, in which nine hundred 
and forty-six children have been placed by the Commissioners of 
Charity, to be supported by the County. There are but two Protes- 
tant Asylums for white Children ; in these only seventy-seven are 
paid for by the County. Is it just that even one of these two should 
be closed against the Protestant poor ? 

The Home in the Eastern District is doing an admirable work ; 
we gladly admit its claim. The Managers are intelligent Christian 
ladies ; we cordially extend to them our good wishes. But the poor 
in the largest section of Brooklyn have a right to ask for the assist- 
ance they need here in their own district without being obliged to 
send their children to Williamsburgh for relief. But we have faith 
that some day we shall be righted, for now, as ever, 

" Stancleth God within the shadow, keeping watch above His own." 






We have lost by death during the past year, the oldest two of our 
Managers ; they were the oldest both as to their age and the time of 
their connection with this Association. 

Mrs. Sharpe was one of the original incorporators, and had la- 
bored zealously for twenty-three years in this cause. Her enthusi- 
astic Christian zeal made her a valuable assistant, and her sweet, 
loving nature endeared her to all the Managers. We alluded in our 
opening page to the prayerful spirit she brought to the work ; it 
seemed fitting that at her last meeting; with the Board she should 
place an earnest prayer for the prosperity of the work as the closing 
seal upon her labors. 

Mrs. Hilliard had been a member of this Association for more 
than nineteen years. Her sound judgment and practical good sense 
were ever to be relied upon ; and when we needed advice we appealed 
to her who was so peculiarly fitted by her age, her experience, and 
her wisdom, to give it. 

Miss E. C. Cook, a Manager recently appointed, has also died 
during the year. Short as was the period of her connection with the 
Association, the Committees of School No. 5 had learned to value 
her services. 



The Sewing Committees report for the year that three thousand, 
eight hundred and seventy-five garments have been made up. Sew- 
ing societies belonging to some of the churches, and individual 
members of churches represented in the Board, have assisted in this 
work. To such the Managers present their warmest thanks. In 
order to give some idea of the amount of sewing required, our friends 
will please observe that all the garments worn by the children at the 
time of the Fair are presented to them by the School Committees-, 
and that the children at the Home are all clothed by the Managers. 

So faithfully has our Matron performed her duties during the past 
seven years, that we feel it to be a tribute we owe her to acknowledge 
that we realize how greatly we are favored in having her services. 
The daughter of a clergyman, her Christian training peculiarly fits 
her for this responsible situation, and her qualities of heart and mind 
are such that we can always appeal to her excellent judgment for 
advice, and to her warm feelings for sympathy. 



The children had their usual Christmas dinner both at the Home 
and at the Schools. There were other festivities which made the 
holiday week a very pleasant one for them. Twenty of their num- 
ber were delightfully entertained by Miss Whitcomb, of 196 Clinton 
street ; the teachers of the Sunday School also prepared a Christ- 
mas entertainment for them, and Mr. More, of 3d Avenue, cor. of 
Wyckoff street, very kindly exhibited for their amusement some of 
his beautiful stereopticon views, which were both instructive and 
entertaining. 

During the Summer no less than forty of the children were in- 
vited by Mr Douglas, of the Brooklyn Children's Aid Society, to 
visit the Sea Side Home and there enjoyed the fresh air and sea bath- 
ing for a week. 

The Managers acknowledge their obligations to Dr. Edsun and 
Dr. Pratt. Their attendance has not been as frequently required as 
in some previous years, as there has been no epidemic prevailing ; 
but it may be by attending to their suggestions that the old adage 
has been verified as to the relative value of prevention and cure. 

Mr. F. Loeser sent to the Home a mechanical toy, a doll playing 
a guitar, to be offered for sale for the benefit of the institution. The 
children regard this musical prodigy with great admiration, and the 
Managers feel grateful to Mr. Loeser for his kindness. 

During the Fair there were generous contributions made to the 
refreshment committee, from the congregations of the churches rep- 
resented by Managers in the Association, and many of the leading 
merchants in the city sent articles to be sold on the tables. We 
would here repeat our acknowledgement of such acts of generosity 
and renew the thanks which we offered at the time. 

The thanks of the Board are due to Dr. Brewster who has offered 
to attend to the dentistry necessary for the children free of charge. 
Heretofore they have been obliged to pay for such service. 

The Managers are grateful to the friend who has engaged a teacher 
in needle work for the older children at the Home. Lessons are 
given them three times a week, and their improvement is very ob- 
servable. 

Far be it from us, as we review the work of the year, to record the 
results in a boastful spirit. We speak of what we have done, be- 






24 



cause, as the stewards and almoners of the Association, this is the 
time and the place to report how we have appropriated the funds 
committed to us, and what success has attended our labors. 

In the annual reports of gentlemen, whether on secular or church 
charities, they confine themselves strictly to concise statements of 
facts. The privilege of talking has been so generally conceded to 
ladies that we here appropriate to ourselves what advantages we may 
derive from that prerogative. Instead of adopting the laconic bus- 
iness report as our model, in most womanly ways we have striven to 
win your interest in this work ; we have confided to you our anxieties ; 
we ask for your sympathy, your co-operation and your prayers. 

And why ? Our personality is hidden ; the individual Manager 
; asks nothing for herself ; but as a Board we are deeply in earnest, 
and our desire is to help the poor children who rove about the streets 
of Brooklyn. We want to dissipate the moral darkness in which, as 
we have shown you, so many of them live. It can only be done by 
"pointing them to Him who is the true light which " lighteth every 
ihan that cometh into the world." 

It is in the spiritual, as in the natural world — we strive with a thou- 
sand lamps to light up the streets of our city, and yet the darkness 
hangs over it ; but when God brings His one great luminary above 
the horizon then the darkness is dispelled. 

As when God looked upon the light on the morning of creation "He 
saw that it was good;" so may He look upon the light, as through our 
feeble instrumentality it dawns upon these children's hearts, and 
after He has perfected what we have begun, may He accept our 
work, and looking upon it say "it is good." 

Gertrude L. Vaxderbilt, 

Corresponding Secretary.

FOR THE YEAR ENDING APRIL 24th, 1878. 



ITH the close of another year the duty of reporting the 
medical management of the Home again devolves on the 
attending Physicians. It is with pleasure that they report the con- 
dition of the Home for the entire year as regards the health of the 
inmates and the hygienic srate of the building as most gratifying. 
Minor ailments, incident to children, have from time to time occurred, 
but there are no outbreaks of any disease in epidemic form, and no 
serious injuries by accident, to report. There are at present no cases of 
sickness in the Hospital. Such a record for a twelvemonth, for an 
institution having in its care so many children as the Home, speaks 
in emphatic tones of 

i st, Intelligent oversight and care of those placed in charge. 

2d, Suitable food, both in quantity and quality. 

3d, Adequate breathing room and ventilation in the dormitories. 

4th, Pure air throughout the building. 

5th, Cleanliness. 

For, without a combination of these sanitary requisites the chil- 
dren could not have had a year with such unusual freedom from 
disease as during that just closed. 

Respectfully submitted, 

William H. B. Pratt, M.D. 
Benjamin Edson, M.D.

Hints to managers, 



Church Collections should be paid into the Treasurer on or before 
the first Tuesday in April, by check, if possible. Subscription lists 
should be handed to her at the same time. They should be written 
plainly, on one side only of the paper. 

In case of several Managers collecting from the same Church, one 
of them should put the several lists 'together, after the manner of the 
foregoing, paying special attention to having initials and spelling of 
the names correctly given.
